Description

There is a three way chasm that separates medically under served children both locally and internationally. This gap exists between what is medically available, what is affordable and what is maintainable. Cone-o-matic is a bridge over these troughs of disillusionment. I have been working closely with e-NABLE over the last six months to create and perfect this solution. It will be presented to Field Ready as a solution for regions under medical duress. It is a Minimally Viable Product now, but with support, it can get even better.

Details

This design is a response to the variable needs of the community. Trans-radial deformities and amputations take on many different shapes and sizes. The cone-o-matic meets the needs of developing children as well. Just as shoes do not fit after 6-12 months, prosthetics can be equally uncomfortable. Secondly, this will allow international access to custom fit sockets. The rise of available additive manufacturing in remote corners of the world provides a path for in-village manufacturing.

We have continued to plug away at the project. Thank you for your interest in the cone-o-matic. The next step will be web based application that generates a parametically generated arm and prepares the files for 3d printing.
